Can't edit fstab

nano /etc/fstab returns that the file isn't writable. I am trying to mount a hard drive to internal storage, but am unable to do so currently.

/etc/fstab is not editable (or overwriteable) as it is not used or required in LE - it exists solely as a dummy file because some packages expect it to be present and fail to start if it is not. In LE locally attached drives that recognised (and not corrupted or unclean) filesystems will be auto-mounted by udevil, and network drives can be handled through systemd .mount files (see /storage/.config/system.d).
